  • Molecular marker for identifying trait of efficiency of duck feed utilization based on neuropeptide gene , method and use thereof
    Patent number: 11879160
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a molecular marker for identifying traits of efficiency of duck feed utilization based on a neuropeptide gene NPY, a method and use thereof. The NPY gene has a nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 1, the molecular marker is T or C, and the molecular marker is located at position 577 of the nucleotide sequence. In the present disclosure, mutation of the NPY gene is detected using a polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) method, the traits of efficiency of duck feed utilization are selected based on genotypes, and a breeding method for early selection of efficiency of poultry feed utilization is established. The method is simple, rapid, and low-cost, does not need special instrument, and satisfies experimental needs.
